Publication Stage :
(A) United States patent
Abstract :
An endoluminal graft which is both expandable and supportive is provided
in a form suitable for use in a branched body vessel location. The
graft expands between a first diameter and a second, larger diameter.
The support component is an expandable stent endoprosthesis. A liner is
applied to the endoprosthesis in the form of a compliant wall material
that is porous and biocompatible in order to allow normal cellular
invasion upon implantation, without stenosis, when the expandable and
supportive graft is at its second diameter. The supportive endoluminal
graft is preferably provided as a plurality of components that are
deployed separately at the branching body vessel location, one of which
has a longitudinal seam defining leg portions within which the other
components fit in a telescoping manner.
